Which one are you?

When you feel yourself struggling with something, then the time has come to grow beyond it. Effort and persistence can bring much value to any endeavor. Yet trying too hard, to the point where the effort becomes a constant struggle, brings nothing positive.  

Struggle means it is time to grow, to go far beyond your previous limitations, to set new and expanded expectations for yourself. When you feel that something has become a struggle, see it as an opportunity. See it as a pointer showing you the direction in which to grow, and use it as a powerful motivation to do so.

Fighting the same fight over and over will just make you skilled at fighting. At some point it becomes time to develop some new skills, and to take your efforts to a whole new level.

What is it that you're struggling with? Instead of looking for ways to maintain your end of the struggle, consider how you could get to the point where you are beyond the need to struggle. Look for how you can stop struggling and start growing.

I am a work in progress.  I am learning to grow.  Right now I am struggling with goals to grow.  I just thought this was so deep and moved me to think about myself and my struggles with obesity.  It is time for me to be a grower.  To leave the struggle stage.  I am not sure if I will ever not struggle with this problem, but I still want to grow even more where I can find so lice with myself and my struggles if this makes any sense. I just wanted to share this with my OH family.

I'm working on dealing with my frustration about my weight loss slowing down - I'm not surprised by this, it is reality - but I so want to be at goal now and moving on to reconstructive surgery. I struggle with learning to be more patient.
